Corduroy tote bag - room for a full day of study or work

A corduroy tote with a main compartment that takes a laptop up to 33 cm plus a stack of paper. At 32 by 28 by 12 cm it is roomy without turning bulky. The ribbed texture gives the bag a matte, slightly coarser look than smooth textile.

Why choose this corduroy tote?

Smooth fabric shows every scuff, while corduroy has a texture that hides wear far better. The main compartment is deep enough for a laptop with its charger and a book beside it. The straps sit over the shoulder without digging in.

Roomy main compartment: 32 x 28 x 12 cm, enough for an A4 folder and a laptop.
Laptop up to 33 cm: a standard 13-inch model stands upright inside.
Corduroy exterior: the ribbed surface makes marks and wear less visible.
Shoulder carry: the straps are wide enough not to cut in.
Five colors: neutral black through to yellow and two shades of green.

One bag for the lecture hall, the train and the groceries on the way back.

Corduroy traps dust between the ribs; a soft clothes brush worked in one direction lifts it out again. Do not fill the bag past the rim and it keeps standing upright. After a wet walk, let it dry open at room temperature.
